<p>[QUOTE="Michael Schoenfeld, post: 5142094, member: 116094"]I'm a total newbie so I have nothing complete but it's interesting what you said about collections. I inherited a collection from each of grand fathers about 10 years ago that have been sitting in my gun safe since. Oh a whim, I pulled them out last week and started organising and sorting into a single collection with the best coins. Between them, I almost have a complete Pre-64 Washington Quarter set.</p><p><br /></p><p> I wondered what they would think about me combining the sets together? I wasn't planning on really adding anything but after sorting and putting coins into books I want to finish some of them off. I made my first trip to the "LCS" and bought some of the missing holes. The owner told me he gets 4-5 people a week coming in selling off inherited collections. I didn't ask but he must tear apart a ton of these kinds of books. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can't really explain, but something about buying them individually either on Ebay or at a coin dealer/show means more than just buying a complete set in a book ready to display, which is probably the easiest and cheapest way to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
